Question

Problem with not showing layers in After Effects

Hello Adobe Community,

so far I have tried to help myself and scoured the internet for a solution. To no avail.

Hence my question to you, can you help me?

I have an After Effects problem on a simple film project where I use several hundred layers, with memory-heavy footage. I'm using After Effects 2023 version 23.6.0 (Build 62) or 24.0 with same issues on a 2020 M1 Mac Book Air with Apple's Sonoma 14.0.

 

The thing is that after I saved my project and reopened it, the error overflow ratio denominators are converted. (17 § 19). When I want to work on my subcomposition "film", the lowest layers are "removed" or "withheld" or "cut off" (see screenshot)
The strange thing is that I can still see the content of it in the preview window, even when I export the movie, you can see everything I had created in these lower layers. I just can't access it anymore in the timeline. I don't see them anymore either, they should actually appear at the bottom if you scroll further down?

What I did: Reboot, clear caches, and checked old backups. No result.

Is there anything I might have missed or can do? The goal would be to be able to call up and edit the layers again.
Would be very grateful for your help!

Regards, Jan

Are you still having the issue? Let us know.

I am moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for now.

 

Thanks,

Hello. Yes. The issue wasnt solved. Neither through adobe, nor the community. But i did solve my problem, by making a new project (which didnt solved the layer issue.)

Thanks for asking.

Best regards

yes, no worries. But i am nor able to upload such a after effects file in this forum, right? Its a not supported file type. Maybe you can send me a emailadress? The file is about ten megabytes.

Are you able to share the project (no need for the media), just the .aep with us so we can look at what's going on further?

If you turn on the shy guy for the top 10 layers and hide those, does that give you access to 10 more layers at the bottom of the comp?
